> "*looks in the mirror and sighes* this belly is getting heavy with life...yet, why am I no longer overjoyed? Three months ago Illisse has left the village and I noticed her mixed feelings, even Valandils feelings were clear... it made me think...think so much lately." i speak to my mirror reflection. "*enters the room* look my love, worrying about Illisse ain't good, besides I don't think she wants you to worry about her," Gonfindl responds.
> "*turns around* maybe, but there has to be a way for her... I mean, I can't take the risk of losing a friend, just because mother nature ain't fair..." I respond while a tear escapes out of my eye. "I don't want her to be jealous, n'or sad..." I sigh.
> "*smiles and embraces me* ow Isil, love of my life, if it were up to you the whole world would be a paradise where everyone and everything has all the things their hearts desire... but you'll have to learn that not everyone gets what they wish for...how cruel this may sound to you, that is reality. if you are so troubled, write a letter to her and explain how you feel now...maybe that'll relief your heart." Gonfindl says before giving me a kiss. I wipe a few tears away and then sit down. "*sighes* ow this is getting heavy you know..."
> "*grins* sometimes I wonder if mother were right, about two babies, I'm beginning to think it are three..." Golradir says while entering the room with parchment and a quill. "*eyes widen* ow please?! two is already enough!! three will be too much!!" I exclaim.
> "*grins* ow relax sweetcake, here parchment and a quill, write a letter to your friends there and send some pies for Lindor too. that will make you feel better." Golradir responds while handing over the stuff. I look at them and then begin to write:> Dear Illisse
> How are things at Tel'Ruid lately? and how are Valandil and Lindor?
> just two more months and I'll give birth, are you still sure you want to help me out?
> the reason why I'm asking this is because I've noticed your face when you left Eldrihir after the wedding. I could see that there was something wrong but remained silent for I felt ashamed... and i still feel this shame. I keep on thinking 'why can't she be blessed too? she has as much right as i have' I wish I could do something, but Gonfindl says I have to learn to accept that mother nature ain't fair and can be cruel too. But it is hard for me. Lately i no longer feel so much joy, I'm worried and often sleep too much. both my husbands urge me not to be worried about you, for you don't want that, but i need to be sure you're going to be fine. I don't want to end up losing you as a friend, since things were left unspoken.
> Therefor i write you this letter, to tell you how i feel at this moment, hope I'm not being silly, I'm just...worried about your wellfare.
> Feel free to write back, Illisse mellonamin.
> Isilheledh
> ps; included you'll find a few pies for you and Valandil plus three mango/peach/whipped cream pies for Lindor
> *folds the letter and places it in the huge basket of pies* Zhepphyr go find Illisse and her friends alright?" i ask the dragon before watching him taking off.
My dear Isil,
First , let me thank you for the pies, you have no idea what a lifesaver they were (yes they are already gone!). You have a marvelous dragon here, for he found us far from home. We had barely gotten home when off we went on yet �another� adventure. We are on our way home now. We will be there in about a week.(crossing my fingers)
Mellonamin, I hug you thru this letter for our care�I am sorry. I did not mean to make you worry. Yes it does hurt me sometimes watching others have the joy of children. It hurts me more vor Val�..I have known since I was very young that I would not have children. My healing abilities are a gift from the gods. I chose to give up having children in exchange for that gift. It was a decision I was happy to make..then�I did not know how much that choice would affect me until I fell in love with Val�This was not a choice he made. To give him a child..nothing in this world would make me happier. But I know that will never be and that is what makes me sad*tear splotch*..You have nothing to be ashamed for. I would have spoken with you about this but I did not wish to make you sad on your happy week. I did anyway..I am sorry. You are my dearest friend Isil, Your men are right do not worry for me..You will not ever lose me as your friend. And DON�T YOU HESITATE TO SEND FOR ME!!! I will tell you all about �this� adventure while you labour.�chuckles* It will definitely keep your mind off of �things� Val says to tell you to have more of that pie ready when you send for me (he will come too) I will give Lindor his pies when we catch up with him. He has gone ahead to retrieve a package we must deal with before we can return home�.don�t worry�.we will be home in plenty of time.
Amin mela lle, mellonamin
*hugs you again*
Illisse
